Education Bill by Monrovia's Assemblyman Approved by Committee

A bill by Assembly Member Chris Holden to expand pathways for high school students who want to pursue college courses or career tech classes was approved today in Assembly Education Committee on a vote of 4 to 0. AB 1451 Concurrent Enrollment would expand and encourage opportunities for high school students who are capable of advanced scholastic or vocational work to enroll in community college courses. It would also encourage students who need help passing the California High School Exit Exam and students who traditionally do not attend college but would like to see if it's the right path for them.
